RATE HEARING ADJOURNED Commission to Take Up Matters Other Than Distance Tariff in April. BAILROAD 0ITICIALS ARE HEARD State Anneals from Decision of District Court on the Sol diers' Home Pension y Matter. (Prom a Staff Correspondent.) LINCOLN. March 25. (Sneclal.)-The ra hearing before the Railway commission was adjourned this afternoon until April 27, When topics other than distance tariff rates will be discussed. Before the close Commissioner Williams, who was presiding, called for Representative P. A. Caldwell of Clay county. He said Mr. Caldwell had something more to say to the commission. A search was made for Mr. Caldwell, and when he was found In the corridors of the state house he sent word that ho had nothing more to say. He is said, to have been much grieved at the spirit In which he waa received the day before by railway men and the commission when he spoke In support of a petition for distance tariffs. He told his friends that he had not been given a fair hearing by the newspapers and that he found the commission "cold." Traffic Manager J. A. Munroe of the Union Paclflo appeared before the commis sion this forenoon In the role of general advocate for all transportation lines doing business In Nebraska and declared that they are doing their best to serve the people of the state fairly and without favor. He spoke for nearly an hour, dis claiming that the roads considered them selves Immaculate or perfect, but asserting that they wanted to help build up the state and would do the best they could toward that end. Mr. Munroe took unqualified ground against the proposed distance tariff, or rates baaed uniformly on mileage, as all the other railroad men and most of the shippers' representatives at the- present hearing have done. He argued for the maintenance of existing commercial condi tions and said the people of Nebraska are not so much Interested In getting lower rates as they axe In the Improvement of railroad service, the building of better depots and things of that kind. Stnbbs on Rate Reduction. The remarks of the Union Pacific traffic manager were supplemented by a speech from J. C. Stubbs, traffic director for all the Harrlman lines, who took the ground that Jobbing rates at the present time are so arranged aa to-allow competition be tween all distributing points for the trade of the state. Stubbs declared that lower rates do not as a rule benefit the consumer, but that the difference Is generally ab sorbed by middlemen In the handling of commodities and manufactured articles. One of the facts brought out during the morning session was that In a good many .... . i , ii cases the Jobulng rates wnicn me i in roads now have In effect are little If any lower than the regular tariff under classi fied schedules. This relevation came to light after Traffic Manager Munroe had stated that nine-tenths of all the freight business Is moved on Jobbing rates and not on the regular tariffs. Secretary Whitten of tho Lincoln Commercial club showed that the so-called Jobbing rate from Lin coln to Friend, as one example, is Just the same as the nominal tariff applying gen erally throughout the state on shipments handled for the samo distance. Secretary J. F. Hanson of the Fremont fiommerctal club was the first speaaer heard from. He talked to the commission and the "distinguished railroad representa tives present" on the subject of overcharges. which he said constitute the only particu lar line of grievance that manufacturers and shippers of this city complain of. "I find that local officials have abundant power to Incur overcharges, but when It comes to correcting such charges they have no authority whatever," Hanson said. "I could cite cases where 'It has ..taken years to get these matters taken up and settled. Why should the railroads allow this sys tem to continue? It Is not only inexcus able; it's scandalous." Sample of Fairness. Protesting that he had a high regard for railroad officlala generally, Hanson men tioned reveral Instances where one-sided treatment had been given with the knowl edae of railroad managers. As an Illustra tion, he said a Fremont manufacturer of alfalfa stock food had been shipping under a tariff governing alfalfa products until he discovered that a competitor In Omaha was "syruptltlously or . otherwise" shlp ninir its mndi under the head of "mo- lasses'1 at more favorable rates. This man ufacturer had been put off time and again when he endeavored to get a settlement refunding the excess he had paid over the molasses tariff, The speaker declared his belief thst It would be suicidal for Nebraska to adopt a distance tariff, llthough there are In equalities now, Hanson believed they could be borne with better results than would follow Jumping from the frying pan Into the fire. Commissioner Williams asked the Fremont man If he thought flexible distance tariff might not be devised. Which would preserve the present benefit and at the same time assure fair tratment for all points. Hanson's reply was that the Fremont pobbers are sat'lsfied with the adlustment as It now stands and do not care to change. After Hanson had finished talking. Gen eral Freight Agent C. B. Spens of the Bur lington railroad called on him to submit papers In any claims which had been filed for refund of overcharges, In order that the responsibility might be located. "We can't accept any general complaint on such a matter, but must have specific Information," said Spens. "Well, some of our shippers have thought that maybe the railroads need the money and that by withholding repayment ot overcharge claims for two or three years they get. In the aggregate, a large amount of working capital without any Interest," responded Hanson. Commissioner Williams suggested that In future any concrete case of the kind be reported to the railway board, arid Hanson promised to do so. He had merely called attention to the evil, because he thought the time and place afforded -a good op portunity. 'Monroe Taken It Up. The subject of overcharges was taken up by Munroe at the outset of his speech. He stated that all railroad managers are anxious, to preserve the credit of their com panies by making prompt settlement of claims where they are Just. The Union Pacific, he asserted, has been making special effort along that line and of all such claims filed In the last year or two W per cent of those allowed have been paid within thirty days from; the time of their presentation. Sometimes the papers go astray and other things will happen to cause delay. This is especially true where the quoted rate covers shipment over rails belonging to one or more roads out side Nebraska. A suggestion was offered at this point by Ben T. White, general attorney for the Northwestern, thst there has been so much rate legislation by the states and congress In late years, with numerous orders by railroad commissions thrown In aa to com pucate matters a great seal and creats much additional work for the accounting department, where claims are considered. Tsklng up the question of a distance tariff, Munroe sal.l Iowa Is the only state In the union which adheres to a hard and fast rule that the maximum rate shall be so much for every mile a shipment Is car ried. Ha declared the effect of this to be that all the traffic between Des-Moines and Council Bluffs as a rase In point. Is conceded to the Rock Island as the shortest line. He thought that for short distances mileage schedule waa proper, but not on long-haul shipments. Munroe mentioned the Omaha smelting plant, the South Omaha stock yards and the Omaha grain market as three Indus- nes which had been created, fostered and built up by favorable railroad rates. "I am not aware of a single rate that Is burdensome upon Nebraska shippers," wss one of his sweeping declarations, "nor do I know of one which taxes the traffic more than It can properly bear." The rate on California sugar which com pels Grand Island to psy 3 cents per 100 pounds more than Omaha en a haul 150 miles shorter was defended by Munroe as one of the conditions which preserves equality between Jobbing renters. He ad mitted that as times change It may be come advisable to alter rates. In speak ing of coal rates, he said the Union Pa cific had Wyoming to take care of as well as Nebraska, and that the tariff was ad- Justed so that oal mined In Wyoming would remain there. Nebraska people, he- declared, - could get coal from other dis tricts. Claim to Be Benefactors. The Union Pacific reverted to the time when Governor Thayer asked the railroads of Nebraska to reduce grain rates, when corn was selling at 10 cents, so that the farmers could get 15 cents a bushel for corn and be able to tide themselves over the hard times. The roads, he said, came to the rescue by cutting the rate between points and Chicago from 33 to '28 cents. In the same way, Munroe averred, ihe railroads helped Nebraska by lowering the rate on corn to Denver and the lntermountaln country from 60 cents to 25 cents, thereby creating a new market for the chief product of this state. He thought the railroads are entitled to some credit for the good prices which farmers now get for their grain. "And railroads In Nebraska will be con tent with an Interest return on their capi tal far below what they realized In ordi nary lines of business," Munroe stated. I hope you will remember that every time you take 1 cent off the rate on a staple commodity It seriously diminishes the car rier's revenue and does not benefit the con sumer. Another, thing to bear In mind Is that rates cannot be changed In one sec tion without producing an Influence else where. . Thus the rate from Duluth to Helena, Mont., affects that between Den ver and Salt Lake City, and any dis turbance on the Canadian frontier might be felt as far away as the gulf of Mexico." P. A. Caldwell of Edgar Interrogated Munroe on the point whether customer would be able to buy cheapey when a rate Is lowered. Munroe claimed7 that the sys tem worked a good deal as the protective tariff does In many cases the manufac turer or Jobber pockets the difference and the buyer pays the same price as before. Clarke Cites Case In Folnt. This led Commissioner Clarke to observe thnt ainra the Aldrich bill reducing grain rates on carload lots became effective, the railway board had received complaints from different points In Nebroska that buyers In market cities were bidding higher for grain and millers In this state are compelled to r.v mo for It. while at the same time they are not allowed any reduction for flour shipped in less than . carload quan tities. A, . , . . . . nntntnlMlnnM- J. M. Guild of the Omaha Commercial club said the business men of his city were against a flat mileage tarltr. He did not think the present rates are per fect, and believed the commission ought to revise them, but said the prosperity of the railroads must be considered. If their crpnwth In retarded, he said, that of the state will be also. He conceded that dis tance is a material factor, unless other conditions enter Into the ratemaktng. Where railroads Intersect one another, as they do In Nebraska, he favored making the rates flexible. Commissioner Guild and Secretary T. 3. McVann of the Omaha Grain exchange sat at the hearing- with Freight Traffic Man ager G. H. Crosby, General Freight Agent Spens and Chief Counsel Kelby of the Bur lington, and Carl Wright, attorney for the Northwestern. emiarv whitten of trie Lincoln Com mercial club followed Guild with an argu ment airainst a straight distance tariff and gave some of his experieneces with the working of the Iowa schedule while he was at Sioux City and Muscatine in that state. He pointed out that Jobbing rates In Ne braska apply on shipments both ways ana are a benefit to all towns. He said mat, with the exceotlon of matters which Lin coln has taken before the Interstate Com merce commission, the present, adjustment i. f.iriv satisfactory to this city. The rail roads complied with Lincoln's request when asked to put In a schedule of brick rates, n,t did the same with cement, lime and stucco, not only for Lincoln, but for Beat rice and Falrbury as well. He believed they would treat other Jobbing towns as liberally as this. Spena Addressee Commission. nn.rl Vrlsrht A sent Spens of the Bur lington addressed the commission. Regard ing the distance tariff, he said it would in lane measure eliminate all competition. ih himlneaa s-olrur to the short line. An other loss, he maintained, would be to many Industries, due to Nje circumscribed spheres of operation. Theoretically, it might not thus appear, but practically. It would be so.

He pre sented an elaborate series of tables to Illus trate the point. He also presented a series of tables showing how an absolute distance tariff would put each of tho roads out of business between some of the many com mon points in the state. Similar to Smith ts. Ames. "The ruling of the United States supreme court In the Minnesota case," said Attorney General Thompson today, "Is not materially different from the holding of that court In the case of Smith against Ames, 169 U. 8., 651, which was a suit instituted by one of the stockholders of the railroad company against the attorney general of the state of Nebraska, enjoining him from under taking to enforce, In the courts or other wise, the provisions of the maximum freight rate law passed by the popullstlc legisla ture." In that case the court held as fol lows: A suit against-Individuals for the purpose of preventing them, as officers of a state, rrom enforcing an unconstitutional enact ment to the injury of the rights of the plaintiff, ts not a suit against the state witntn uie meaning oi uio eieveniii uiueuu- ment. Attorney General Young in his brief Undertook to, distinguish the case Instituted against him from the Ames case by con tending that Attorney Smyth was enjoined because he was ah administrative officer. charged with particular administrative du ties, in that he was a member of the State Board of Transportation, while he, as the attorney general of Minnesota, was not a ministerial officer, but an executive offlo ' of the state of Minnesota, charged with no particular administrative duties in connection with the enforcement of the maximum rate laws of that state, but pos sessing a discretion as an executive officer which could not be controlled by Injunc tion, and that the effect that a suit to en Join him from a discharge of his duties aa an executive officer of the state was In effect a suit against the state and con trary to the eleventh amendment to he federal consltutlon. The attorney general assembled at St. Louis In the latter part of September, 1907, recognized the holding of the supreme court In the Ames case and the possibility that It would adhere to the ruling made therein and adopted the following resolu tion: vmA hv the convention of attorneys general of the aeveral states here assem bled, That we earnestly recommend to the favorable consideration of the president and the congress of the United Slates tne t f-H-al lflW nrnviHinff that noercult court of the united eiaies or onv iurisA exerclslna- the powers of such circuit Judge shall have the Jurisdiction In any case brought to restrain any officer of a state or any administrative board of t state from Instituting in a state court ny suit or any other appropriate proceed ings to enforce the laws of such state, or to enforce any order made by such admin istrative board, but allowing any person, or corporation asserting In any such action in a state court any right arising under the constitution or any law of the nl'lted States to have the decision of the highest court of the state reviewed by the supreme court of the United States, as now pro vided by law. We also recommend that suits In federal courts Instituted by per sons Interested In corporations to restrain such corporations from obeying the law of the state in which they are doing business be prohibited." The recent ruling In the Minnesota case emphasises the wisdom of the resolution passed by the convention of attorneys gen eral and tho necessity of congress to enact a statute In conformity therewith. There Is no constitutional Impediment to the enact ment of such a statue since he federal cours Inferior to tne tiniiea Diaies su preme court are creatures of congress and their Jurisdiction and authority may be limited and controlled by that body. In my Judgment the vexation produced by the granting of Injunctions against state offi cers, which has the effect to suspend state statutes by the power of the federal courts on an ex parte showing, may be effectively removed without Injury to the rights of anyone by the enactment of a statute by congress embodying the idea suggested In the foregoing resolution." , 'tate Appealsv Pension Case. (Attorney General Thompson today ap pealed the Injunction suit originating from the Soldiers' Home at Grand Island to the supreme court and filed a motion to have it advanced. An inmate of the home obtained an Injunction to prevent the state board from requiring a portion of pension n cney to be paid Into the cash fund of the home. Change In Telephone Rate. The Railway commission has permitted the Nebraska Telephone company to change rates at Exeter, Fairmont, Harvard, Heb ron, Nelson, Rogers, St. Edwards, Wahoo and Wakefield. Where business telephones are now rented for H2 a year, with a dls. count of M If payments are made before the tenth of each month, the charge will hereafter be $3S a year and the charge for extension telephones will be $13 Instead of 315, The Rock Island railroad has been given permission to change Its minimum weights for carloads from 20.000 to 24.000 jgamBBmmmmmmatgsoamma pounds.
